The Bruery - BAKERY Coconut Macaroons Imperial Stout - 13% ABV
@thebruery
We were lucky enough to pick up a couple of these at @blackheartswine and it was sensational! A deliciously thick and smooth Imperial Stout with an amazingly balanced sweetness. Filled with rich notes of tasty vanilla and subtle bourbon, this beer has to be one of our favourites! Make sure you try this one 🙌🏼🤤

Darkness RISing BBA Russian Imperial Stout. 9.5% ABV in a tall 750mL cork and cage.
There is an obvious and serious issue with this beer. It’s heavily charged. By bottle conditioning this beer it is exceedingly effervescent. The bubbles thin out the body to excess. They are overly prickly and drown out so much of the flavor. It’s a great beer, fighting against the CO2 and losing the battle. The choice to bottle condition this beer is just not one I agree with as it has muted so much great work. The flavors that do come through are spot on for a BBA RIS. In the end, it’s just too much carbonation.
@ckwpa is one of my favorite breweries. They make great beer and are IMO one of the crown jewels of the Lancaster County beer scene. It says on the label “full bodied stout” but that just gets cut down. It’s a great beer, struggling to come through and in the end, doesn’t fulfill its full potential.

Good Heavens its chilly! Around 20°F here in Southeast Pennsylvania so I decided to select a beer that I know would warm me up. @northcoastbrewingcompany Old Rasputin which is a Russian Imperial Stout that is dangerously delicious. This 9% #ABV#RIS has a heavy #roastedmalt , #darkchocolate , #toffee and notes of #darkfruits on the nose. The mouthfeel is super-smooth, almost like velvet. Roasted malt and dark chocolate dominate this incredible #RIS. 75 #IBUs but it doesn't drink too terribly hoppy. Alcohol is super-well hidden as the 9% doesn't make an appeaarance at all. I heard they bourbon barrel aged this but haven't seen it. I would love to get my hands on that to give it a try and a review! #FortBragg#CA#Cheers
